That’s the mean
Fearful girl I know
Kindess?
No
Anger
Arrogance
Silence
Low
That’s the angry girl I know
You’re so weak
You can’t even speak
You seeped into me
And made me so meek
So sad and discreetly
Changing me
With your endless misery
Complaints
And negativity
Toxic adventure
Wish I had not met her
But now I’m released
And I am beast
A monster of mayhem
Made by your hatred
My strength
Back in me
My danger
Has teeth
Again
Discredit me to hide yourself
Threaten me and question my health
Call me paranoid
For calling you out
Invalidate my emotional response
By telling me I’m wrong
Avoid your own
Accountability
By labeling it a temper tantrum
But the rage in my heart is for no one
But you
How could anyone be responding
To my temper tantrums and paranoia
When their only exposure to it
Would be from stories told by you
You know what you did
Was shit
I don’t want your emotional labour
What the fuck does that even mean
Speak like human
Not a self help magazine
For trendy teens
Pretending they’re growing
Just learning to be
Themselves
Thinking therapy
Will save them
Because they’re too weak to save themselves
You haven’t defamed me
But you offered to publicly
But let’s just avoid that
Tell me to get therapy
Instead
So you don’t have to face the truth
In your head
My anger is valid
And not some unbalanced
Madness
You lied and used me
Treated me disrespectfully
While I did everything
For you
You selfishly inject yourself
Into my house
And blame me
For wanting you in my mouth
Try to discredit me
By making it seem
I’m shallow and selfishly
Only trying to feed my needs
But really
Really…
We both know who acted selfishly
You were not supportive
You were in it for yourself
You didn’t care what’s best for me
Just in it for yourself
You never tried to help me
Just left me alone
To fend for myself
Devalue me
Call me crazy
Don’t try, be lazy
Effort is too hard for you
Talking is too big for you
Too real to do
Anything
But cry
And whine
And criticize
And block
And hide
Run
Run
Never try
Avoid my eyes
Cowardly hide
And run from your lies
From your selfish side
Bury your head in the sand
And cry
You’re a fucking child
Inside
And this is how you see me
The truth you always keep from me
I truly believed you adored me
And it filled me
My heart
With joy, and love, and glory
But you never admired me
You didn’t even respect me
Appreciate or value me
Temper tantrum paranoia
Mad and pouty little boy, ya?
That’s what you see?
Ok fine
I love crossing lines
And I’m mad at your lies
And sabotaging my life
I know
I know
I should put you out of mind
My heart is broken
My anger is a token
Shame I will carry like an open wound
Forever
Remembering how I treated you
When I let my anger take the wheel
And follow through
Imagining the pain you might feel
And the sickness sticks to me like glue
But I never knew you
If you’re hurting, I have no clue
You don’t communicate
Or show through
You don’t care that I’m hurting
You don’t care that I’m worried
That your words won’t be true
When you tell people about me and you
You just want me to get away from you
You care more about me calling you out
Than you care about how
You hurt me
Cruelty becomes me
Pain, and loss, and misery
I’m sorry for these words
And I hope you forget me
And this hurt
Goodbye my love
My sacred dove
You never tried
You always lied
Until I died
In front of you
And that just annoyed you
